Need advice on Capital Gains Taxes ASAP
About 2 years ago my mother and I purchased 2 vacant lots as an investment. The 2 lots have now been rezoned and replatted into a single lot. I also had some of the utilities moved to accommodate the replatted lot.
Anyways, we just sold the lot and the title company asked us % allocation of proceeds from sale to each party. Below is some general information on the transaction.
I need advice on how to best handle this to minimize capital gains taxes. Any information would be much appreciated!
Purchase Price: $15000
Improvements: $4800
Selling Price: $70000
My current salary is $60500 (- $15000 401k - $5000 dcc) taxable income is usually around $40000 and I file as head of household.
My parents have an approximate AGR of around $70000
Thanks!
